Which statement best describes keyboard traps on a webpage?

• A. Keyboard traps ensure focus cannot leave a widget.
• B. Every accessible element on a page can also be navigated away from, so as to not 'trap' the user on a spot on the page.
• C. The tab order should always follow visual order exactly.
• D. Focus visibility is optional.

Answer: (B)

Keyboard traps are situations where keyboard focus cannot move away from a region, leaving a user stuck as they tab through controls. The best way to describe how to handle this is to ensure every accessible element on a page can be navigated away from, so the user isn’t forced to remain on a single spot. This reflects good keyboard navigation: users should be able to move focus through all interactive elements and exit or escape from any trapped region when needed. In practice, traps are sometimes used intentionally inside modals to keep focus within the dialog, but there must always be a clear way to move focus back to the rest of the page (such as a close control or Escape) to prevent being trapped.
